Retirement account saving limits raised for 2023

(Radio Iowa) – Many people are reviewing their retirement plan contributions as we approach the end of the year. I-R-S spokesman, Christopher Miller, says a recent update allows you to put away more toward retirement. “The amount that individuals can contribute to their 401-K plans and most other workplace retirement plans has increased for 2023 to 22-thousand-500 dollars, and that’s up from 20-thousand-500 dollars for 2022,” miller says. He says there’s also a change for individual retirement accounts or I-R-A’s.
“The limit on the annual contribution to an I-R-A increased to 65-hundred dollars for 2023 — and that’s up from six-thousand dollars in 2022,” he says. Miller says it’s important to review your plan to be sure you are putting enough money away. “This is a good time to know well what am I going to put into my I-R-A, what am I going to put into my 401-K plan at work,” Miller says.
Miller says if you make the adjustment heading into the new year, you will be able to take advantage of the increased limits for the full year.
